Just after the Bennington review
Tuesday morning the Governors of
Vermont, Massachusetts and New
Hampshire and most of the prom

the militia officers and many old

acquisition and adaptation and be-
spoke for it the protecting care Of
the State.
Governor Ormsbee accepted for
the state the noble gift from the
heirs Of the late Hon. r. w. Park
and the work of the trustees in ex-
pending upon it the states appro-
priation, and said that so far as his
influence could go it would be given
to promote a constant interest in the
grateful benevolence thus entered
upon.
Senator Edmunds was called out
and received with hearty applause.
He praised the site and its beautiful
surroundings and expressed his
pleasure that Vermont had provided
a home for the increasing number
of her gallant but unfortunate sons
who helped to save thefcountry in
its hour Of peril and are now with
the advance of years, finding them
selves unable to battle with the
hardships Of life. He congratulated
the veterans and the state upon the

which had attended the founding oil

Growth of Grand Army Posts.

COMMANDMENTS Chief Fairchild re-
ports that the opposition to the

an increase of $4,000 members. In

With the civil service bars down
so low that the lowest grade eof
Democrat can get through the com
petitive fence, and with the Civil
Service Commission deciding that
no reason can be demanded for re-
movals, the time is not far distant
when the last, lone Republican that
can by any possibility be spared
from his business of coaching the
new fellows, will have to pack up
his gripsack and bid farewell to the
place that will know him no more.
The doctrine that all Republicans
are rascals or offensive partisans, is
now on top, and the Curtis brand of

Whit True Merit WILL DO,

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's
German Syrup within a few years, has
astonished the world. 1t is without
doubt the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and effectual
cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest
Lung troubles. 1t acts.on an entirely
different principle from the usual pre-
scriptions given by Physicians, as it
does not dry up a Cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the
contrary removes the cause of the
trouble, heals the parts affected and
leaves them in purely healthy con-
dition. A bottle kept in the house for
use when the diseases make their APP
pearance, will save doctors bills and
a long spell of serious illness. A trial
will convince you of these facts. 1t is
positively sold by all druggists and
general dealers in the land. Price, 70
cts, large bottles.
